142: State Terrorism and Fascism, with Amanda Rogers AKA MsEntropy

Daniel and Jack are delighted to welcome back - after far too long an absence - the brilliant Amanda Rogers (AKA MsEntropy). We pick Amanda's brains in a conversation about the complexities of the concept of terrorism, its relationship to national states, citizenship, and fascism, with special relevance to America in the grip of Trump, MAGA, and their apparatchiks. Amanda touches on recent events including the ICE / Border Patrol incursions, the under-reported Prarieland trial of protestors, and most especially the horribly topical issue of the US-Israeli military attack upon Iran. Content Warnings, as ever. EPISODE NOTES: Amanda on X/Twitter is @MsEntropy Prarieland: https://prairielanddefendants.com/about-the-case/ [https://prairielanddefendants.com/about-the-case/] https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/24/new-details-july-4-ice-attack-holes-feds-case/ [https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/24/new-details-july-4-ice-attack-holes-feds-case/] https://truthout.org/articles/these-dallas-residents-are-on-the-front-lines-of-trumps-war-against-antifa/ [https://truthout.org/articles/these-dallas-residents-are-on-the-front-lines-of-trumps-war-against-antifa/] SHOW NOTES: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.

141: Megyn's a Sad Bunny

Kick off! Daniel & Jack discuss Elijah Schaefer's recent troubles, TDS showing up in the Epstein Files, and - mainly - Megyn Kelly's appearance on Piers Morgan's show to deliver an unhinged racist rant about Bad Bunny doing the Superbowl Half-Time Show. Sorry about the delay getting this to you - Jack has been super busy lately, and also ballsed up his first attempt at the edit. Content Warnings.
